MATERA BASILICATA

Nothing provided so much of a Visual slap in the face ( in a good way) as my first gaze upon Matera , Basilicata’s city of ‘‘Sassi” with ancient dwellings , churches carved out of its Sinous limestone rock . It’s one of the few places where people can sleep , where people did almost 9,000 years ago . However nowadays the town is filled with interesting boutique hotels that let you into a nicer , more modern version of the ”Cave” experience .
